Description

Title PUTTER-TYPE CLUB HEAD
(Corporate Docket Number PU2256-WO)
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a putter-type club head. More specifically, the present invention relates to a putter-type club head having a rearward center of gravity.
Background Art
The golf industry has been inventing putters that make the game of golf easier for the high handicap player. One such putter is disclosed in U.S. Patent Number 4,688,798 to David PeIz. The PeIz patent discloses a putter with an alignment means to assist a golfer in aiming a golf ball toward a hole during putting. The PeIz patent discloses using two or three golf ball shaped indicators as the alignment means. The golf ball shaped indicators may be circles, hemispheres, or complete spheres. The PeIz patent discloses positioning the indicators along a line extending rearward from the center of percussion. Another patent that discloses an alignment means is U.S. Patent Number
4,659,083 to Szczepanski. The Szczepanski patent discloses a group of lines that converge toward the center of the face of the putter.
Yet another patent that discloses an alignment means is Great Britain Patent Application Number 4,659,083 to Lilley. The Lilley patent also discloses a group of lines that converge toward the center of the face of a putter.
Another example is Schmidt et al., U.S. Patent Number 5,470,068, for a Golf Putter With Dished Bottom Surfaces which discloses a putter composed of a single cast material and having a hollow interior.
Another example is Uebelhor, U.S. Pat. No. 6,086,484, which was filed on Mar. 20, 1998 for a Golf Putter Head. Uebelhor discloses a putter head with a U- shaped body and a blqck within the middle. The block has a lower specific gravity than the U-shaped body.
Yet another example is Rose et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,951,412 originally filed in January of 1996 for a Golf Club, Particularly A Putter. The Rose patent discloses a center portion composed of a light metal material and the heel and toe portions composed of heavier metals. The metals are forged or cast to create the putter head.
Another example is Fernandez, U.S. Pat. No. 4,793,616 for a Golf Club, which was originally filed in 1984, discloses a lightweight composite material molded to a hard, high density material for distribution of mass. Fernandez discloses a composite shell with a high density insert composed of tungsten or some other high density material.
Although these inventions have provided new and improved putters for making the game of golf more enjoyable for high handicap players, the prior art has not optimized a putter by making it more forgiving and assisting in alignment.
Summary of the Invention
One aspect of the present invention is a putter-type club head having a body and a peripheral mass belt. The body has a face portion, a crown portion, a sole portion and a column portion. The crown portion extends rearward from the face portion to cover the column portion. The sole portion extends rearward from face portion. The peripheral mass belt is attached to the body. The peripheral mass belt has a central mass portion, a heel arc member extending outward from the central mass portion and a toe arc member extending outward from the central mass member.

Best Mode(s) For Carrying Out The Invention
As shown in FIGS. 1-6, a putter-type club head of the present invention is generally designated 20. The club head 20 preferably includes a body 22 and a peripheral mass belt 23. In a preferred embodiment, the body 22 is composed of a material having a density ranging from 0.90 g/cm3 to 6.0 g/ cm3. A preferred metal for the body 22 is an aluminum alloy. Alternative materials for the body 22 include aluminum, titanium, titanium alloys, magnesium, magnesium alloys, and the like. The body 22 is preferably formed as a single cast structure using known investment casting techniques. However, those skilled in the pertinent art will recognize that alternative forming techniques such as milling, welding forged or formed pieces, and the like may be utilized without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
The body 22 preferably weighs from 100 grams to 300 grams, more preferably from 150 grams to 275 grams, even more preferably from 200 grams to 250 grams and most preferably 210 grams.
The peripheral mass belt 23 is preferably composed of a material that has a density greater than the density of the material of the body 22. Ih a preferred embodiment, the peripheral mass belt 23 is composed of a material having a density ranging from 6.0 g/cm3 to 20.0 g/ cm3, and more preferably from 7.0 g/cm3 to 10.0 g/ cm3. In a preferred embodiment, the peripheral mass belt 23 is composed of stainless steel, hi alternative embodiments, the peripheral mass belt 23 is composed of zinc, brass, copper, gold, silver, tungsten, tungsten-based alloys, iron-based alloys, and copper-based alloys.
The peripheral mass belt 23 preferably weighs from 80 grams to 300 grams, more preferably from 90 grams to 200 grams, even more preferably from 100 grams to 180 grams, even more preferably from 120 grams to 135 grams, and most preferably 127 grams. The club head 20 preferably has a mass ranging from 250 grams to 500 grams, more preferably from 300 grams to 400 grams, and most preferably 340 grams.
In a preferred embodiment, the body 22 has a face portion 24, a crown portion 26, a sole portion 28 and a column portion 30. The face portion 24, the crown portion 26, the sole portion 28, the column portion 30 and the peripheral mass belt 23 define a central aperture 32 that extends through the body 22. The central aperture 32 has a heel opening 34 at a heel end 27 of the body 22 and a toe opening 36 at a toe end 25 of the body 22. The central aperture 32 horizontally separates the face portion 24 from the peripheral mass belt 23, and the central aperture 32 vertically separates the crown portion 26 from the sole portion 28. Due to the length of the crown portion 26, the body 22 preferably has an interior column 77, as shown in FIG. 4A, within the central aperture 32. The central aperture 32, in connection with the peripheral mass belt 23, allows for the center of gravity of the club head 20, "CG", to be moved rearward from the face portion 24. hi a preferred embodiment, the CG of the club head 20 is positioned within the central aperture 32, and thus the CG is not positioned within material of the club head 20 but instead the CG lies outside the material in space within the central aperture 32. Preferably, the CG is located between 0.25 inch and 1.0 inch from an external surface 71 of the sole portion 28, more preferably 0.50 inch to 0.75 inch, and most preferably 0.73 inch from the external surface 71 of the sole portion 28. Also, preferably the CG of the club head 20 is located 1.50 inches to 3.5 inches rearward from the external surface 58 of the face portion 24, more preferably 2.0 inches to 3.0 inches, and most preferably 2.85 inches from the external surface 58 of the face portion 24.
In addition to assisting in the rearward positioning of the CG, the peripheral mass belt 23 is a rearward support structure for crown portion 26. The peripheral mass belt 23 preferably ranges from 20 to 50 volume percent of the club head 20 and ranges from 40 to 75 weight percent of the club head 20.
The sole portion 28 preferably has an approximate T-shape. The external surface 71 of the sole portion 28 contacts the ground when the club head 20 is used with a shaft and grip, both not shown, as a putter. The CG of the club head 20 preferably lies above the sole portion 28.
